Two identical plates $P$ and $Q$,radiating as perfect black bodies,are kept in vacuum at constant absolute temperatures $T_P$ and $T_Q$,respectively,with $T_Q < T_P$,as shown in Fig. $1$. The radiated power transferred per unit area from $P$ to $Q$ is $W_0$. Subsequently,two more plates,identical to $P$ and $Q$,are introduced between $P$ and $Q$,as shown in Fig. $2$. Assume that heat transfer takes place only between adjacent plates. If the power transferred per unit area in the direction from $P$ to $Q$ (Fig. $2$) in the steady state is $W_S$,then the ratio $\frac{W_0}{W_S}$ is $.....$

The outer surface of a star in the form of a sphere radiates heat as a black body at temperature $T$. The total radiant energy per unit area,normal to the direction of incidence,received at a distance $R$ from the center of a star of radius $r$ is $(R > r)$ ($\sigma =$ Stefan's constant).

The original temperature of a black body is $727^{\circ}C$. The temperature at which this black body must be raised so as to double the total radiant energy is ....... $K$.

Spheres $P$ and $Q$ are uniformly constructed from the same material,which is a good conductor of heat,and the radius of $Q$ is thrice the radius of $P$. The rate of fall of temperature of $P$ is $x$ times that of $Q$ when both are at the same surface temperature. The value of $x$ is:
